Mac’s Mission shared a picture of the pooch on social media. They’ve named him “Narwhal the Little Magical Furry Unicorn” and, it’s safe to say, he’s quickly stealing the hearts of the internet.

Mac’s Mission have decided to keep hold of Narwhal for the time being, but will be looking to find him a forever home as soon as they deem him ready.
In a recent update on the pup’s case, the organization wrote: “It’s me Narwhal!! I don’t understand what viral is but my foster mama said my story being viral helps ALL our special needs dogs here at the Mission. You are welcome.
“I am super excited for being the poster child for ‘special is awesome’. Sleep tight, k thanks, Narwhally.“
Just another video of our narwhal the magical fuzzy unicorn puppy because we think he is amazing. (We are not accepting applications for him right now until we are very certain his unicorn horn is not going to have a growth spurt and become an issue) (no it does not wag) (yes he is keeping it) (yes he is amazingly awesome!!) Love,MacKeeperOfTheUnicorns
